You never hear “Aw man, the new owners are awesome! Everything’s so much better now!”, it’s always a downgrade, usually a significant one. It’s never about improvement and always about cutting costs and leaving the buyee company to die.

    I worked for a company that got bought, but I’m a pmc guy so I owned options and so I got a small check that made my taxes complicated for a few years.

    But the new company definitely sucked and I moved to a new job shortly afterwards.
